Hey guys I’m new around here! Happy to have found a spot to talk to other City Fans! Max Meyer sounds like the one tbh! Would be a great signing! Don’t think it would be Baumjohann he’s 34 and doesn’t fit the long term philosophy we have.

As somebody in their mid-twenties, it is absolutely not just the boomers holding out. I’m fully vaccinated, but I know so many people my age who either “don’t trust it” or are “waiting for the Pfizer”. I think that if you’re young, healthy and have a stable income, lockdown makes a lot of young people feel very safe from the virus and happy to avoid facing the reality of it all. If we were to give some kind of plan of how we move out of restrictions and rejoin the rest of the world, it will probably give a lot of people the kick up the arse they need to actually go get it imo.

Please don't

We do this to our starlets on a regular basis. Players look as though they have the world at their feet and end up scrambling around in the NPL. Even at club level we need to be careful - for example with Tilio and Cola.

Went to FC Koln after that so I would imagine he would’ve taken a significant pay cut going to that club aswell. Other player I could see it being is Marko Marin, 32 Years Old and seems a tad more realistic

Welcome!

They definitely need a kick up the arse. Lockdowns pander to this mindset. Announce an opening date, that’ll get their attention. As to social media virtue signalling I see so many people do because you got vaccinated, give me a break, get vaccinated to reduce your odds of fucking dying not for social kudos.

Unfortunately the rise of the internet has led to the rise of dangerous misinformation. People once took doctors at their word because they were the experts, now people believe that 15 minutes on Google, a YouTube video and a whole lot of confirmation bias is equivalent to a medical degree and a lifetime of scientific research.

Absolutely. I agree that it's really the lack of a defined plan that is the blockage. We've had the Priority Groups, now the Four Phases, mumblings about employment and certain activities being dependent on being vaccinated, incentives (as if "not dying" isn't a pretty good incentive), and so on and so forth, but nothing is defined or quantified. Mind you as an oldie I do find it odd that people aren't sure about vaccination. People of my vintage were vaccinated ("inoculated" was the term then) against many diseases before we even knew we had been, and with the subsequent ones as children there was no such thing as a disposable syringe and needle. The syringe was as big as a cattle prod, the needle as big as a darning needle, and no sterilization between shots. You lined up ten at a time and the nurse kept going until the syringe need a refill. And of course the science has improved by orders of magnitude since then. FMD I can still see that syringe if I think about it!

Tell us more!

My sauce is saying that we have signed a big name mid, we're just waiting for them to clear quarantine. Watch. This. Space.

Time to just weld everybody's doors shut so no one can get out ever again. When's the next state election again? This situation is hopeless
